While the OnePlus 7 is expected to be an incremental update over the existing OnePlus 6T, it is the OnePlus 7 Pro which is going to create quite a stir in the existing flagship space. Here’s everything the leaks and rumors have revealed about both the devices so far.

Price: €749 to €759 (Approx Rs. 58,000)

KEY FEATURES OF THE ONEPLUS 7:

Display: 6.4-inch Optic AMOLED FHD+(2340×1080) flat display.

Internal Specs: Snapdragon 855 paired with 6GB/8GB of RAM.

Storage: 128GB/256GB.

Though the specs of the Oneplus 7 might not seem as flashy as that of the OnePlus 7 Pro, it won’t be a bad phone by any means as it has almost everything that made the OnePlus 6T great along with some major improvements in the processor and camera. Also being priced similarly to the OnePlus 6T, the regular variant of the OnePlus 7 will be sticking to OnePlus’ ideology of providing flagship phones at an affordable price point.

However, we can already be sure that the highlight of the May 14th launch event will be the Oneplus 7 Pro as the device truly has some noteworthy features such as a Quad HD display with 90Hz refresh rate, motorized pop-out front camera, up to 12GB of RAM, a curved screen, etc. With a price tag of €749 (approx Rs. 58,000), this phone will be going against the likes of the Apple iPhone XR and Samsung’s Galaxy S10e.

But with features like an IP rating (for dust and water resistance) and wireless charging missing from the spec sheet of both the variants, will the latest ‘flagship killer’ from OnePlus be able to slay the existing flagships or will it get slayed by the flagships of goliath brands that reign supreme at the top of the food chain?
